Happy 4th of July to my American friends and neighbours!
Apologies for the awful quality this time. Perhaps due to an overheating device, perhaps because of the whims of the Facebook gods, I could not keep a good stream going. It’s worth enduring the video for the awesome lists. Uncle Meat and I counted down the Nigel Tufnel Top Ten Ballads, with six lists submitted by:
Incidentally, this is the picture that really drove him nuts, the one of Baby Yoda eating the leaf. He describes these pictures as “creepy, like Weekend at Bernie’s“.
Since I already had the 1986 Saga scheduled all week, I didn’t want to schedule a formal live stream for this weekend like I usually do. Instead I decided to just wing it and go live whenever I felt like it. Streaming periodically through the day like this, we had almost 3 hours of jibber jabber!
This week’s major feature: The “Nigel Tufnel Top Ten” KISS albums list! Special guest star: Uncle Meat.
Len Labelle also sent a list, but I forgot to write it down so we will do his next week!
If you just want to see the KISS lists, you can skip ahead to 2:06:30 of the stream.
If you want to hear me rip an epic fart point blank into the microphone in stereo, skip ahead to 1:52:30 of the stream.
If you’d like to hear my mom’s reaction to Uncle Meat’s attraction to my sister, skip to 0:57:10 of the stream.
If you want to see Deke move and speak in real life, skip to 2:46:15 of the stream. This is his very first appearance, ANYWHERE – you’re welcome for the start and the boost. Hope it is appreciated.
If you’re just interested in the Star Wars action figures, you’ll want to watch from 0:12:45 of the stream.
Missed the May 16 live stream? No problem. Watch LeBrain and special guest Uncle Meat below, discussing favourite Rush albums. Then LeBrain dives into Tony Martin-era Black Sabbath singles, and finally makes a surprise purchase live on the stream! We also pay tribute to Fred Willard who passed away at age 86. We’ll miss you Fred.
There has been an audio lag issue with the Facebook live streams which looks like an issue that happens when one person leaves during a split screen. Going forward I will either have to reboot the stream at that point or use another platform. Apologies for the audio lag. Enjoy the show.
Pardon the technical difficulties, we had some audio lag and some viewers experienced frozen video. I think we pushed the limits of what Facebook and our own bandwidth could handle.
The best live stream of the series so far is available for you to watch below! We went for 90 minutes and featured so much vinyl your head will spin. We also had three special guests joining us: Dr. Kathryn Ladano, Uncle Meat, Scotty P, all local legends in their own rights!
In 2014, Tom and Uncle Meat made a video for their “Here Comes LeBrain Again” parody which I gladly used as my theme song. In 2020 that video is a little out of date, so I decided to make an updated one. Check both versions out below and let me know.
Thanks to Meat and Tom for recording the song and making the original.

“I had to improvise on my number ten album,” says Meat! We hope you enjoyed his lists.
I don’t know what kind of workplace books Max the Axe and Nancy Vicious and the Nasty Bitches for their office Christmas party!? The kind I want to work at, obviously. Here’s Max’s lead singer Uncle Meat with the lowdown.
Our gracious host Iron Tom Sharpe has furnished us with the full Sausagefest 2019 countdown! Gaze at the majesty below. A few brief notes first:
1. “Kiss Me Deadly” by Lita Ford was blamed on Uncle Meat, who definitely took a verbal bruising for that song appearing so high at #22. Meanwhile I took flak for Greta Van Fleet.
2. I am pleased any time Kiss makes the list. “She” was so awesome to groove (shirtless) to on the Friday night.
3. “Fuck yeah!” to Testament, Sabbath (with Gillan), the Kinks, and Iron Maiden (including a non-album song).
4. I marked the songs that I did intros for with an *
